TMC MP Mahua Moitra has written to the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee in response to accusations of accepting “cash for query.” She requests permission to cross-examine the complainant, Advocate Jai Dehadrai, and the alleged “bribe giver,” Darshan Hiranandani, at the hearing on November 2, the date set for which she was summoned. On Wednesday, the TMC Lok Sabha MP made her letter to BJP MP and chairman of the Ethics Committee public.
Posting the two-page letter on her X handle, Moitra said, “Since the Since Ethics Committee deemed it fit to release my summons to the media I think it is important I too release my letter to the Committee before my “hearing” tomorrow.”
In her letter, Moitra alleged that Advocate Dehadrai had provided no documentary evidence to back his allegations in either his written complaint and neither could he provide any evidence in his oral hearing.
“In keeping with the principles of natural justice I wish to exercise my right to cross-examine Dehadrai,” she wrote in her letter to the Committee.
